Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Every teenager deserves to know that they are not alone and that there are people who care and want to listen. By taking part in this swim, I’m helping raise funds so that young people can access support, counselling, and someone to talk to when they need it most. Mental health struggles can affect anyone, and having a safe place to reach out can make a real difference.
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.
ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.
I’m taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
